What is GHS The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) is an internationally agreed-upon system created by the United Nations. It is designed to replace the various classification and labeling standards used in different countries with a consistent labeling system on a global level. OSHA has updated its Hazard Communication Standard to align with this Globally Harmonized System.
